Moorburg Power Station

Moorburg Power Station in Hamburg, Germany is proposed by Vattenfall Europe to have an installed capacity of 1640 megawatts and cost 1.3-1.4 billion to construct. In April 2008 the Power in Europe energy industry newsletter foreshadowed that the project may be blocked as a part of a power sharing agreement between the conservative Christian Democratic Union and the Green Party following the mid-February Hamburg elections. The Greens oppose the project proceeding, which would emit more than 8 million tonnes of Co2 a year. Vattenfall aim to have the project completed by 2012.
